The mission of TFP's non-profit arm is to train our partners and craftsmen how to build affordable, long-lasting composting toilets using local materials.

The TFP training program includes instructing our partners and local craftsmen how to build, install and maintain waterless composting toilets using local materials. This locally-driven approach is cost-effective, adaptive to site-specific needs, and scalable.
